Paris Hilton was arrested for possession of cocaine Friday night in Las Vegas.
According to police, Paris was the passenger in a vehicle that was pulled over outside the Wynn Hotel. The driver was arrested for DUI (drug-related, not alcohol) and when cops searched Hilton, they found her in possession of a controlled substance.
Police say tests revealed the substance to be cocaine.
She was arrested and released on her own recognizance.
UPDATE: Paris' boyfriend, Cy Waits, was arrested as well. He was booked on a charge of DUI.
UPDATE: Sgt. John Sheahan told the AP that during the arrest, Hilton asked to go inside the Wynn hotel for privacy. At that time, Sheahan said, Hilton pulled out a tube of lip balm and "a bindle of cocaine in a plastic bag came out of her purse" in plain view of police in the room. Another officer characterized it as a "small amount."

Bet this gets thrown out. They'll probably say there was no probable cause to search her.
F-all
Of course she does coke, look at her? What else would a princess with too much time on her hands do? I hope she od's. Maybe the guy who came to her house, was coming to collect, lolol!

Sigh. I guess she didn't learn her lesson yet.

Also, how does one go about getting arrested for cocaine possession and get released in a few hours?
Oh wait, it's Paris Hilton. To be fair, if it was a black guy, he would still be there.

Hmmm, she must have an album, movie, or TV show coming out soon. She has been getting a lot of press lately, after being out of the limelight for a long (for her at least) time. Heck, maybe she is just tired of being outattentionwhored by LiLo.
